"Stand-up comedian Andy Kaufman was legendary for his bizarre stage acts, not to mention Latka Gravas, the wide-eyed foreigner on the '80s television show Taxi. Kaufman sometimes combined the two, performing as Latka in his comedy acts. Latka, of course, was an amateur comedian who couldn't do any celebrity impersonations — except for Elvis. "

#5 Andy Kaufman & Tony Clifton
• The legendary comedian Andy Kaufman created Tony Clifton as his audience-bashing lounge singer alter ego, who was famously kicked off the set of the TV show Taxi (on which Kaufman starred) for showing up drunk to the set. Occasionally played by Kaufman’s brother as well as fellow comedian Bob Zmuda, Clifton was the obnoxious yin to Kaufman’s own awkward yang.

"Process Media presents an Andy Kaufman tribute: DEAR ANDY KAUFMAN, I HATE YOUR GUTS!
The great provocateur Andy Kaufman died 25 years ago, and tonight we honor his legacy with the release of the new Process book Dear Andy Kauman, I Hate Your Guts! and an evening of rare and never-before-seen solid Kaufman gold pulled from the video archives of Lynne Margulies (Kaufman's girlfriend, director of the Kaufman doc I'm from Hollywood, and author of the book).
Margulies will present a treasure trove of rarities including recently unearthed footage from Kaufman's brief but illustrious career as "Intergender Wrestling Champion of the World," his legendary, never-before-seen performance at LA Improv's "Midnight Snacks" in 1975, and a video, allegedly made by a German film crew, of someone driving to the Kaufman family plot in New Jersey and exhuming Andy's corpse.
And, as a grand finale for the evening, none other than TONY CLIFTON has threatened to appear in his only West Coast performance for more than half a decade. Don't miss it!"
